Six days after the death of a Sri Lankan woman detained in the immigration bureau, one year ago, Minister of Justice Furukawa said, "It must not be a detention facility that holds the lives of detainees." He expressed his condolences and emphasized the idea of making constant efforts not to repeat it again.
It has been six days since the death of Sri Lankan woman Wishma Sandamari, who was detained at the Nagoya Regional Immigration Bureau.
After the Cabinet meeting, Minister of Justice Furukawa told reporters, "This is an event that should not have happened in the detention facility where the lives of the inmates are kept, and we would like to express our deepest condolences."
He said, "We will deeply reflect on the Nagoya case together with the Immigration Bureau of Japan, and will continue to make constant efforts with a firm determination not to repeat these events again."
